Short-term rehab or long-term care?
Medicare rates these separately, and many homes are better at one than the other.
Short-term rehab
For a stay of a few weeks after a hospital visit, such as after surgery or a stroke.
- Sent back to the hospital17.3%State average: 25.0%Better than average
- Needed an emergency room visit12.4%State average: 11.6%About average
- Newly given antipsychotic drugs6.9%State average: 2.6%Worse than average
Physical therapist time: about 7 minutes a day per resident, averaged across all residents, including long-term residents who get little or no therapy. That is more than the state average of 3 minutes. It is not one person’s therapy schedule; if rehab is the goal, ask how many therapy sessions a week to expect.
Long-term care
For residents who live at the home for months or years.
- Falls with a major injury6.7%State average: 3.2%Worse than average
- Pressure sores (bedsores)3.8%State average: 5.6%Better than average
